You will need Accreditation if you want to start a business in the following sectors and activities. In Gabon, the investment charter classifies economic and commercial activities into three categories:

Regular activities:These activities do not require any legal regulation. This is the case for the opening of commercial areas such as grocery stores, dry cleaners, etc.

Regulated activities: These economic activities are subject to preconditions. The applicant must meet the conditions set by the supervisory administration. This is the case of medical clinics, gaming establishments (Casinos), microcredit institutions, banks, insurance companies, educational establishments, etc.

Activities under specific codes:These activities are more complex because they benefit from many specific advantages. They must meet the conditions laid down in the relevant legislative and regulatory texts. This is the case for the sectors: Tourism, Wood, Fisheries, Agriculture, etc.

For information: lthe term accreditation is a generic term that differs from one sector to another; in the field of health we speak of authorization, empowerment in the education sector and licensing in the fishing sector for example.

Depending on your activity, the steps to obtain the Accreditation may take place before or after obtaining the single registration form (Fiche Circuit).

You will only be able to start your activity if you have your Accreditation and your unique registration form.
